Can you believe it? !!!
Thanks, Brewers, Wisconsin needed that! Got to admit, the indentured servants questioned their faith when Los Angeles superstar Shohei Ohtani — the $700 million man — snapped out of his slumber and jacked a no-doubter into the stands at Dodger Stadium for a 4 to 0 lead in the second inning last night.

Guessing you could hear Madison cheering all the way to Rockford. The game was already well in hand; the Badgers were blowing out the Maryland…
